Kindle Your Social Life --- We're Making Reading Cool Again

Kindle 2.0 Countdown - What feature do you most want to see in Kindle 2.0?

For me - opening it up to developers so they can add applications.

Also, if there are any updates to Kindle 1 software that you'd like to see, throw that in here too.

I know this sounds strange, but I'd sure love to have a clock feature - when I'm on break at work it would be nice to know when my time with my Kindle is up. And of the dozens of people who have seen my Kindle and marveled over it, all asked if it has a backlight for night or dim-light reading. I know that might be a challenge to the battery, but it, too, would be nice.; ▶ Reply to This

I'd love a backlight as well. This might be asking too much but I'd also like a color screen. :-); ▶ Reply to This

Perhaps being able to sort them into categories, like : read or unread; books, magazines, or newspapers; fiction or nonfiction; you get the idea...; ▶ Reply to This

I would also like to edit the name of the book and the author. I have several books that are in the wrong place alphabetically on my kindle and I hate not being able to find the book I am looking for. Several I have downloaded also do not have the author listed and I would really like to add that.
I read many types of books and would like to have them in categories (Fiction, Fantasy, Sci Fi, Romance, Biographies.....) for easier retrieval.
The back lighting would of course be great.
I have only had my Kindle a few days but I already love it.; ▶ Reply to This
